Growing Power To grow food, to grow minds and to grow Community!

The Three Essential Areas Grow – easy to replicate growing methods with on-site/hands-on demonstrations. Bloom – educates people through local, national and international outreach for both farmers and communities. Thrive – produce food, distribute produce, grass-based meats, and value-added products.

The Main Building This is the main building that houses the offices, greenhouses one (1) through four (4), an aquaponics system and the community food market. This food market sells produce grown on the actually property. The food is affordable, healthy and sustainably grown.
